    摘要: The invention provides various designs of an apparatus and method for attemperating a gas stream temperature. The apparatus of the present invention provides a body through which a gas stream passes that permits, as desired, a second gas, such as gas outside of the gas duct or such as ambient air, to be added to the main gas stream to attemperate the temperature of the main gas stream. The body or device may be referred to as a variable eductor having a plurality of openings through which a second gas may pass into the main gas stream. The openings may be opened or closed, and the variable eductor provides control over which openings and the degree to which each opening is opened. In some designs the variable eductor is inserted between two portions of a gas duct. The variable eductor has widespread application, such as downstream of a gas turbine to attemperate the exhaust gas temperature during startup.

    摘要: Provided is a method for measuring surface characteristics of at least a portion of an object, including providing a light source; generating a first interference pattern on the at least a portion of the object; capturing an image of the first interference pattern; shifting the phase of the light source to generate a second interference pattern; capturing an image of the second interference pattern; filtering distortion from the interference patterns; extracting a wrapped phase of the at least a portion of the object based on the images; unwrapping the wrapped phase of the at least a portion of the object to generate an unwrapped phase; identifying a computed depth map distance to the at least a portion of the object; and fitting an ideal part to the computed depth map of the at least a portion of the object to measure the surface characteristics.

    摘要: A method for providing a virtual Wi-Fi network with secure tunnel provisioning is disclosed. The method provides a reliable, persistent connection between wireless communications enabled devices located at a user's premises and a service provider, and includes the steps of using a software code running on a computing device to pass instructions including a remote server address to an Application Programming Interface (API) running on a wireless router connected to the computing device through a Local Area Network (LAN); using the wireless router to establish a secure communication session with the remote server through a Wide Area Network (WAN); receiving at the wireless router through the WAN parameters required to set up a wireless Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN); and using the router, establishing a wireless VLAN at the user's premises and connecting the wireless VLAN to the remote server through the WAN using a secure tunnel connection.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for measuring geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) is disclosed. The apparatus is configured to measure GICs temporarily flowing in high-voltage, 60 Hz power transmission conductors, and includes a securing means for securing the apparatus to the power transmission conductor. The apparatus further includes a flux concentrator having a toroidal ferrite core and winding wound around the core configured to capture a magnetic field from the power transmission conductor; a hall-effect sensor assembly configured to receive the magnetic field from the flux concentrator and produce a voltage signal corresponding to the magnetic field; and an electronics module configured to receive the voltage signal from the hall-effect sensor assembly, conduct measurements, and transmit the measurements to a local access point.
